The Oromo are Cushitic speakers and represent one of the largest Cushitic speaking groups inhabiting the Horn of Africa. Cushitic speakers have exisited in parts of north-eastern and eastern Africa for as long as recorded history. The Oromo are a very ancient race who have survived as a community of people for thousands of years in East Africa. They constitute the single largest ethnic group in Ethiopia.
